Arcadia, CA
San Gabriel Women’s Health, led by Dr. Margaret M. Juarez, is a premier medical practice dedicated to providing high-quality, compassionate care to women in Arcadia and the surrounding San Gabriel Valley. In a modern medical facility, maintaining a climate-controlled environment, powering diagnostic equipment, and managing administrative infrastructure requires a significant and constant flow of electricity. To align her practice with both environmental stewardship and long-term financial health, Dr. Juarez partnered with Stellar Solar Commercial to transform the facility’s rooftop into a high-performance energy asset.
Designing a solar solution for a specialized healthcare facility requires a sophisticated understanding of power quality and operational uptime. Stellar Solar Commercial engineered a robust 120.36kW (DC) rooftop system tailored to the specific electrical demands of a high-volume women’s health center.
The technical architecture of the San Gabriel Women’s Health installation features:
-250 Hanwha Q.PEAK DUO XL-G10.3 480W Modules: These high-density, half-cut cell modules represent some of the most advanced technology in the industry. Selected for their superior efficiency and durability, these 250 panels ensure the practice captures maximum energy yield from its available roof space.
-SolarEdge SE100KUS Inverter: To manage the substantial power conversion, we utilized a high-capacity SolarEdge 100kW inverter. By pairing this with panel-level power optimizers, the system ensures that every module performs at its peak, providing the granular monitoring and redundant reliability essential for a medical environment.
-Substantial Energy Offset: Placed into service on September 1, 2022, this 120kW system was engineered to neutralize a massive portion of the facility’s daily electrical load, shielding the practice from the volatility of the commercial energy market.
For Dr. Juarez, the transition to solar was a strategic move to protect the practice’s operating margins. In the 2026 energy landscape, where utility rates for Southern California medical facilities have reached historic highs, the foresight of this 2022 installation provides a significant competitive advantage.
Every kilowatt-hour produced by the sun is a kilowatt-hour the practice does not have to purchase from the utility at premium peak rates. This creates a permanent stream of capital savings that can be redirected toward:
-Patient Care and Advanced Technology: Investing in the latest diagnostic tools and patient comfort enhancements.
-Facility Modernization: Maintaining a state-of-the-art environment for women’s healthcare.
-Operational Stability: Protecting the practice against future utility inflation for the next two decades.
Since 1998, Stellar Solar Commercial has been the preferred partner for California’s medical community. We understand that in healthcare, energy reliability is a matter of professional integrity. Our 28-year history is built on a foundation of technical expertise and a “patient-first” approach to construction that minimizes disruption to clinic schedules and patient privacy.
Our in-house team handles the entire lifecycle of the project—from initial structural analysis and electrical load profiling to navigating the complex permitting and utility interconnection required for medical buildings. We specialize in working within sensitive environments where maintaining a quiet, professional atmosphere is the top priority during the installation phase.
As we move through 2026, the strategy for specialized medical centers has evolved to include Solar + Battery Storage. For practices like San Gabriel Women’s Health, adding a battery system provides an essential layer of resilience, ensuring that critical patient data, climate control, and sensitive medical equipment remain fully operational even during regional power outages.
Stellar Solar Commercial continues to lead this energy revolution, helping California’s healthcare leaders build a resilient, low-cost energy future. We turn medical rooftops into powerful tools for sustainability and clinical success.
